BEHIND THE FURNITURE: BASEBOARD CLEANING

Baseboards have a nasty habit of developing a thick black coating on the rims. They’re an easily forgotten space of the house; that is, until you need to get on your hands and knees to plug something in and realize how dirty they really are.

First, remove furniture and rugs from the walls of the room, and use your angle attachment on your vacuum to get into the crevice between the carpet and the baseboard.

Then, gently mix 2 cups warm water and 2 tablespoons castile soap in a small bucket or bowl. Dip the corner of a rag into the mixture and start cleaning around the baseboards. Use a toothbrush dipped in the mixture, too, if necessary, to get into those crevices. Work in small sections.

Lastly, take a fresh, dry cloth and wipe the baseboards dry.

Extra Tip: Use this same process on ceiling crown molding. Be extra careful and ask for assistance if you’re up on a ladder.
